Simple Grilled Zucchini and Yellow Squash
- Course : Appetizers
- Recipe Type : Vegetarian
- Main Ingredients : Yellow squash, Zucchini
Spring time is grill time! Here’s something simple and tasty way to add a vegetable variety on your next bbq cookout. You can experiment with the seasoning; try cajun salt, garlic powder, or whatever you have in your pantry. This version is as simple as it gets with just extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
We slice the squash into about 1/4 inch thick pieces. You can do this however you want – diagonal, crosswise, or lenghtwise. In the picture below, we cut them lengthwise. Drizzle both sides with extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Throw them on to the hot grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Make sure the grill is very hot to get nice grill marks on them!
